One Last Hurrah - Doing It Spears Style!,

So fitting for a Texas girl!

We kid, we kid.

Ashlee Simpson celebrated her 24th birthday on Friday - white trash style - with hubby Pete Wentz, friends and family.

A party-goer revealed to Life & Style magazine, “They had people come over in costume and dress up in white trash. Wife-beater tank tops, jeans, trucker hats, mullets, - the works. And a lot of beer. Some were drinking beer out of paper bags. It was really hysterical.”

We’re sure it wasn’t hard for sister, Jessica, to put together an outfit for the party!

The source assured the mag that Asslee kept far, far away from the beer.

How very un-white trash of you, Ass!!

The insider also snitched that Ass and Pete were also talking heavily about getting an NYC residence, to get out of LA and minimize the paparazzi experience and celebrity exposure for the baby.

Aw. Don’t go!

New York can be bad, too!

Talking Politics,

The United States of Drew!

Drew Barrymore is on the cover of the new Harpers Bazaar and the actress/activist spends A LOT of time talking about the upcoming election and the candidates.

Here are some HIGHlights!

Drew…..

On publicly pledging herself to a political party:
“It’s the first time I’ve really admitted I’m a Democrat.”

On supporting Barack Obama:
“His values…are my values.”

On the Obama campaign:
“What I want to do is work at the headquarters and do my part as a citizen.”

She continues, describing Obama as a:
“uniter and an engager. For example, when I heard him speak about a gay person never having to sit outside the hospital room with their loved one sick inside, I burst into tears because so many people I care about are homosexual and it was profound to have someone be sensitive to that. That’s the kind of world I want to live in, where we’re not holding our own principles in judgment above someone or against someone.”

On her mixed feelings about McCain:
“He is a good person and he does care, but he has voted against things that are shocking as far as people’s liberties and economic choices. I study everyone’s voting record because they say one thing and do another.”

On Sarah Palin:
“I think people realize the intention of the choice.”

On Hillary Clinton:
“It hurts me to see women so upset that she didn’t get in. Not voting because you’re angry? That won’t work.”

On her transformation since she turned 30:
“My priorities have changed so much. I’ve been single for months now, and I’ve turned my attention toward my passions, my friends, and the causes I believe in. I’ve learned to put myself second. I’ve had a couple fun, frolicky relationships, but really, I got out of a five-year relationship and I dated a few people here and there. Mostly it’s been about learning who I am, not through a man, but for myself. I’ve been spending time with my friends and doing more traveling with the U.N…and challenging myself at work. I’m so happy with where my priorities are right now.”

On the youth voting statistics:
“I’m impressed with young people’s awareness of the issues, but I don’t understand why their voting numbers are so low…That’s got to change.”

She continues:
“I can’t imagine why we all don’t want desperately to take care of each other. We need to be passionately inspired by the fact that we can take our environment and our country back.”

Out Of Rehab!,

So while some celebrities enter rehab for an addiction to alcohol or drugs, David Duchovny checked himself in to rehab last month for an addiction to sex.

Things must have gone well for him because the X-Files actor was seen (Check out a translated version here) Sunday at the Czech Festival in New York where he snacked on some Czech pancakes.

Hey now…that sounds kind of dirty!

Don’t worry, he was there with his wife, Téa Leoni, so we’re sure he kept things in…Czech!

Hah.

Let’s hope he doesn’t relapse, like some other rehab alums we know.

That sounds like it would be messy!

This Is Not a Joke,

The London Stock Exchange’s chaplain, Peter Mullen, is under pressure to resign after demanding on his personal blog that gay men should be forced to have “sodomy” warnings tattooed on their bodies, according to the UK’s Evening Standard.

How very Hitler of him!

The Bishop of London on Monday called the Mullen’s comments “highly offensive” and Stonewall, the gay rights charity, said he should resign.

Here’s the exact thing that the ass wrote on his blog:

“It is time that religious believers began to recommend … discouragements of homosexual practices after the style of warnings on cigarette packets. Let us make it obligatory for homosexuals to have their backsides tattooed with the slogan SODOMY CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR HEALTH and their chins with FELLATIO KILLS.”

He also went on to say that gay pride parades were “obscene” and had to be outlawed.

In a statement, the Diocese of London said, “While clergy are entitled to their own personal views, we recognise that the content of this text is highly offensive and is in no way reflective of the views of the Diocese of London.”

A Diocese insider said the chaplain may now face a disciplinary inquiry over his comments.

MAY not WILL?

Stonewall’s chief executive, Ben Summerskill, told the Brit media: “If I was a member of the Stock Exchange I would be wondering whether he is the right person to be chaplain in the opening years of the 21st century. We have talked to one or two gay people in the City and they would be perfectly happy if he were to go.”

On Sunday, papers caught up with the offensive reverend and he said that he was kidding around on his blog, “I wrote some satirical things on my blog and anybody with an ounce of sense of humour or any understanding of the tradition of English satire would immediately assume that they’re light-hearted jokes. I certainly have nothing against homosexuals. Many of my dear friends have been and are of that persuasion. What I have got against them is the militant preaching of homosexuality.”

Disgusting, rev.

HBO Keeps Entourage Around For A 6th Season,

With real life paralleling the plot of HBO’s Entourage perhaps a little too closely with slumped viewership of the show’s 5th season, the Emmy-award winner is pleased to be experiencing a “creative resurgence.”

As a result, HBO is taking on the adventures of E, Vincent, and Ari for a sixth season.

HBO president of programming group and West Coast operations, Michael Lombardo, calls the show a “smart, sharp comedy series that continues to evolve.”

Hope the audience continues to “evolve” as well!

Lloyd Webber, A Scrooge,

You’d think most parents would do anything for their kids. Try to give them the best and provide for them.

And if they’re millionaires, you’d think maybe they’d want their kids to be financially secure.

Not Andrew Lloyd Webber!!!

The British Composer is worth an estimated £750million, that’s a bit over $1 billion.

But, his five kids will see very little of that money once he dies.

What an ass!

In an interview with the Mirror, Webber defends his decision and tries to convince you his kids don’t mind either.

Webber says about his children that “They aren’t bothered. They don’t think that way. It is about having a work ethic – I don’t believe in inherited money at all.”

His company, which started back in 1977, is responsible for musicals like Cats, Evita, and Phantom of the Opera.

It also owns some West End theaters in the UK.

Webber adds, “I am not in favour of children suddenly finding a lot of money coming their way because then they have no incentive to work. So I will give them a start in life but they ain’t going to end up owning the Really Useful Group. I don’t think it should be about having a whole load of rich children and grandchildren.”

That group is what Webber wants to help young and starting composers and singers fulfill their dreams.

He continues, “Basically, it is extremely likely that my wife Madeleine will outlive me so I will leave the problem with her. But both of us feel that we would prefer the company to continue to do things. It is so unusual that it’s a family company and I think the question is who runs it. I think it is unlikely that I want to see it caught up with family.”

As for now, Webber’s main focus will be on creating a sequel to Phantom of the Opera.

The original has already made him over $2.4 billion worldwide.

The sequel, with the working title Phantom – Once Upon Another Time, will show all the characters relocating to NY 10 years later.

Webber says, “The Phantom was somehow spirited away to Coney Island. And amongst the freaks he starts the greatest amusement park the world has ever seen. I’d like the show to be ready for next October.”

Those poor kids - literally!
